Some friends & I have setup a dedicated server and started playing recently.  The only real issue we have is the issue mentioned here.  I have made quite a few changes trying to eliminate this issue.  Tick rate, map size, chucks loaded & any other of the limited things I have found on the interwebs.  But alas, I can not completely resolve it.  I am hosting the game on a dell R810, 64 cores & 64 GB of ram, it sits on a 10gb LAN fiber network.  I am local to the machine and have the same impact as remote players. This is a wonderful game, but this issue is frustrating.  Has there been any changes or updates to this issue?  I am still coming up blank in the multiple searches for a solid resolution.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am also having this issue in 1.21 after repairing a translocator. I hosted a server on LAN while repairing and the error occured. I tried restarting my laptop and even in single player I got the same error. I don't have any mods modifying translocator

I also have the same problem, figured it was a mod but it isn't, even base game vanilla spikes my memory up, always going up, never going down. 
This happened on Windows, and Linux btw.
